Washington State junior Bridget Rieken was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week on Monday after helping the Cougs earn two wins over the week. With a 3-0 victory over San Diego State on Thursday and a 7-0 victory over Hawai’i on Sunday, the Cougs now sit at 3-0-1 on the season.
Rieken scored twice in the game against Hawai’i with the first coming in the 11th minute and the second in the 81st minute. Both goals came off corner kicks and are her first two goals of her career. On top of her two goals, she anchored a defense that allowed just six shots over the week, two of which were on goal.
